ABSTRACT This article proposes theoretical and methodological approaches to researching Whiteness in two countries that embraced Whiteness over mestizaje and adopted ‘late multiculturalism’: Costa Rica and Argentina. We situate our analysis within critical race and Black feminist frameworks, which argue that the construction of White identity cannot exist without the construction of racialized others and that Black women’s experiences and knowledge offer critical vantage points from which to theorize social worlds. We employ a method of juxtaposition to analyze the collision between Black women’s political initiatives and anti-Black racist responses from a White national common sense. The Costa Rican case combines participant observation with critical discourse analysis of press coverage to assess the perception of, and experience of, the first Black woman Vice President, Epsy Campbell, vis-à-vis a White gaze. The Argentinian case includes an ethnographic examination of Black women’s experiences of racism during their participation in feminist organizing. Our analysis reveals the endurance of (foundational) White national ideologies despite the deployment of ‘multicultural’ discourses. We propose the concept of ‘White multiculturalism’ to explain how White Costa Ricans and Argentines simultaneously embrace multiculturalism through progressive policies and rhetoric while maintaining investments in homogeneous Whiteness through everyday institutional and interpersonal practices and interactions.

RESUMEN El concepto de ‘interseccionalidad,’ acuñado por la jurista afrodescendiente Kimberlé Crenshaw en 1989, ha sido ampliamente utilizado en múltiples contextos y disciplinas, trascendiendo el ámbito de los estudios críticos de raza estadounidenses en el que se generó. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo caracterizar la producción académica del término en Hispanoamérica y España, con el fin de rastrear su recepción crítica en idioma español, haciendo un especial énfasis en el papel de la raza en dicha recepción. La investigación parte de la premisa de que el conocimiento es un elemento que circula y que está sujeto a las condiciones materiales y geográficas de su producción. Mediante una aproximación mixta secuencial, la investigación analiza una muestra de productores académicos que tienen publicaciones indexadas en torno a la interseccionalidad en Scielo y Scopus, en el periodo 2012–2020. Se envió una encuesta online (respondida por 134 académicos) para comprender la autopercepción social, ubicación, referencias y opinión respecto al uso del término y análisis de contenido de las publicaciones desarrolladas por la muestra analizada. Este artículo permite iniciar un debate ético-epistemológico acerca de la noción de interseccionalidad y su contenido analítico-político en la academia hispanohablante.

ABSTRACT Within the pursuit of black freedom, this article is concerned with the everyday experiences of the black poor in 21st Century Jamaica. I refer to both this experience and its potential politics as organic blackness. I locate this notion in relation to the coloniality of power in the postcolonial state and to creole nationalism which brought Jamaica to independence. I argue that colonial power norms worked alongside creole nationalism to produce limited sovereignty, particularly concerning the conditions of the black majority on the island. In thinking about what ‘black freedom’ could look like from an ‘organic blackness’ perspective, I question what is demanded by those who live blackness as a lack of resources, space, and power. My interrogation is mainly concerned with the intersection of blackness with poverty and how thinking about sovereignty from below or as ‘people’s sovereignty’ versus ‘state sovereignty’ would construct black spaces as sites of upliftment.

ABSTRACT As an artistic intervention, the exhibit ¿Suficientemente Negro? (Black Enough?) critically examines ‘whiteness’ and ‘racialization’ in Colombia. With the purpose of analyzing their impact on the figure of President Juan José Nieto Gil (1804–1866), this exhibit and consequently this article reveal the colonial cultural constructions that worked to whiten, conceal, and erase his image and legacy from Colombia’s official history because of his ethno-racial, social, and geographic origins. The artistic approach adopted proved relevant to better understand the weight of the colonial matrix of power in the present and across the various aspects of daily life. I uncover the relationship between race and nation in Colombia as constructed by the Creole elites and intellectuals around the turn of the 20th century. I center the history of the presidential portrait of Nieto Gil within Colombia’s racial hierarchy and the ideas around whiteness that characterize the colonial period. As racial ideas remain steadfast in the biographical and genealogical trajectories of many families in Colombia, I show how Nieto Gil’s legacy and erasure overlaps with my own family’s history. I describe a collaborative artistic project that interrogates the social constructions of whiteness.

ABSTRACT This article argues that multimodal semiotics can provide an analytical lens to critically understand recent film and media production by Indigenous people and communities in southern and central Abya Yala (or Latin America). It suggests precise ways to analyse this film and media production as the emergence of alternative public or ‘counter-public’ spaces that allow for the expression of ‘emergent’ forms of Indigeneity that contest dominant modes of representation. The argument focuses not only on these Indigenous texts’ semiotic contents (their design and production) but also on their discursive features, distribution and reception. The article ends up revealing that a multimodal semiotic approach provides a very useful toolbox to make sense of the complex and multi-layered nature of the various emerging cinemas of Abya Yala. The article argues that this approach allows for a better appreciation of the diversity of Indigenous film production, while also facilitating a critical engagement with the issues this media production raises in terms of authorship and modes of representation, among other issues.

ABSTRACT This article explores the political project of the Afro-Ecuadorian Ancestral Territory of Imbabura and Carchi, advanced by the members of the Coordinadora Nacional de Mujeres Negras del Ecuador (CONAMUNE; National Coordination of Black Women of Ecuador) in the northern Ecuadorian highlands. I show how Black women resignify their past and assert their sense of place in an Andean region widely considered Indigenous. That region is marked by racial exploitation and land dispossession, and the political project of nation-building based on the ideology of mestizaje. Black women of CONAMUNE create a space for dialogue between Afrodescendant social organizations and the state, while engaging with Indigenous territorial projects. These Black women strengthen and mobilize diasporic identities by emphasizing the African blood spilled on the soil by their ancestors and the participation of Black enslaved women in the struggle for freedom. I argue that the Ancestral Territory project entails an ongoing geographic struggle in which Afrodescendant women create a particular sense of place as they live and imagine a geography of resistance.
